itt: consternation and wailing about Zach Snyder's upcoming SUPERMAN/BATMAN film/sequel to MAN OF STEEL -- official title: BATMAN V SUPERMAN: DAWN OF JUSTICE

Everyone has a mustache, everyone makes an incredibly half-assed attempt to disguise their mustache a la Cesar Romero.

My final offer. Take it or leave it.

Why not just go animated, like the new Spider-man? People loved the animated Batman.

But give them all live action faces

greatest standalone Doom Patrol story

I assume this Supergirl movie will not star Benoist from the tv show because that would be the right way to go, and why would they start making good decisions this late in the game

oh yeah no, of course they’re starting from scratch even although she’s actually great in the role

btw how did i miss there was gonna be a doom patrol tv show until like last week? with richard case-inspired costumes no less?

What's the German word for a sudden rush of enthusiasm followed almost immediately by a sudden rush of dread

"Alphaville concert"

brendan fraser is the voice of robotman!

timothy dalton is niles caulder!

dalton as caulder sounds hilarious

seems there's also a Swamp Thing series en route that they're claiming is heavily inspired by the Moore run

Crazy Jane!?! Alan Tudyk as Mr. Nobody?!? So they really are going at least somewhat Morrisonian with this thing.

There's that enthusiasm/dread vacilation again. Brrrr.

Yeah, I kinda want all of this Vertigo/proto-Vertigo stuff to be encased in glass and never ever adapted by anyone ever, tbrr.

i'm still holding out for an appearance from my namesake

the thought of live-action scissormen is... troubling

comparatively, when Marvel inevitably recasts its principals I'd expect them to make some kind of event out of it.

I assume whatever device they use to save the day in the next thanos movie will allow them to recast

seems so. I'm for it. I've liked the casting so far but it's in keeping with the source to freshen the cast now and again

Rumors swirling that WB is planning a Justice League reboot.

It will be quite a task to explain the long-dead concept of satire to our grandchildren.

'You see, there was a time when we would exaggerate the absurdity of life for humorous effect, but this was a time before literally everything was completely fucking ridiculous.'

look it's been almost two years, they've waited long enough

remember when the first justice league posters came out bearing the legend UNITE THE SEVEN and then the movie only had six leads?

god you just love to see it

Maybe they'll keep remaking Dawn of Justice annually and at the end credits it will read DO U LIKE NOW? Y/N

given that jason momoa and gal gadot are the stars of the only half-decent, financially successful dc movies, does that mean the justice league movie would keep them and recast, at minimum, batman and superman?

god you just love to see it

I love Jason Momoa

No homo-a

-review by Harry Knowles

xxpost Particularly if they recast Batman as someone other than Pattinson.

jason momoa rules and the aquaman movie is a delight

nice try, but you're not going to trick me

remember when the first justice league posters came out bearing the legend UNITE THE SEVEN and then the movie only had six leads?

no

what

did a whole character get cut out of the whole movie

It was a very early Aquaman poster - he unites the seven underwater kingdoms in his film. And by sticking it out there in 2015, you get a lot of people speculating about who the seventh member of the JL would be.

unites the seven underwater kingdoms in his film.

the what now though

is this Snyder suffering extreme Geoff Johns “52 means something because it’s a number that relates to something arbitrary” damage x his own 2 Marthas doofishness?

And by sticking it out there in 2015, you get a lot of people speculating about who the seventh member of the JL would be.

was there any kind of awareness of the other six at this point (nb I saw posters when the movie was out but if asked would not have known Aquaman was in it before this post)

pretty sure the 'errr actually we meant the seven seas honest' interpretation was a backpedal to cover up that they'd decided against putting green lantern in justice league but we may never know for sure

it's the only baffling creative decision zack snyder has ever made

As far as I know (and this is literally just 10 minutes googling), the slogan never appeared except on an image of Aquaman.

I had forgotten that Justice League 2 was originally scheduled for a fortnight ago!

I saw posters when the movie was out but if asked would not have known

I also forgot that Cyborg is in the movie Justice League for no apparent reason

but is still in the movie / TV Teen Titans for sensible reasons

and is ALSO in the TV Doom Patrol even though they already have another cyborg as their main dude



which Warner exec has some kind of uncontrollable Cyborg fetish?

it's kind of astonishing that they tried to make a dc movie series but didn't manage to make a solo batman movie before they had to reboot everything

they were trying to get Bale back for way too long

One of the (many) ways that dc’s apeing of the marvel movie phenomenon falls flat is a need to cast stars as leads instead of letting the lead become a star in the role.

counterpoint: gal gadot?

Right and her and khal drogomofo are the huge wins! Quit hiring names for Batman and Superman! Find non Americans!

Shoulda got Crispin Glover

speaking of crispin glover is there a thread for this upcoming joaquin phoenix thing? it's cool that DC finally got the memo about setting their scenarios in a genre other than "cape opera" and i for one look forward to Taxi Driver But With The Joker

I think Joker looks horrible

well, yeah. like, as a movie to watch and enjoy sure. but as part of WB/DC’s decades-long program of inventing new ways to faceplant you gotta admit it’s pretty inspired.
